I like how he put the history, I know about him and how he used to be on the hip-hop scene..I know most didn’t know…learn..that the only way we can carry on traditon…..
…..thank god for nas!
…..thank god for nas! hip hop has been lacking in the intelligence department lately; more than ever, we need intelligent, articulate artists in the game…..
yeah, this was a real good interview. he mentioned a lot of things that brought back a lot of memories. that defintely was the era and time…i’m 32, and i remember all of it! being from the bronx and from new york city period! hip hop is dead! it started in the bronx, and spread within the (5) boroughs…it’s a new york city thing…from the rappers, b-boys (dancers), graffiti, djing…just like these l.a. dudes talk about the “gang life” (which new york had as well, during the time they had gangs too…i.e. savage nomads, savage skulls, black spades, tomahawks, etc…) is how we feel about hip hop…it’s no problem that it’s where it’s at, and being over the world, but pay homage! and it can’t be so one minded…there’s no creativity, there’s no originality, there’s none of that any more…and i miss that…the toughest dudes, were making music that was fun to dance to, and party to…and we talking gangsters, real gangsters…like bambatta, one of the heads of the black spades, a real live gang from nyc, the bronx, but he made planet rock, perfect beat, etc…but he would crush you physically…but he ain’t speak of it…same with just-ice, and kool herc, and g-rap, and so many more…but they ain’t speak of that stuff all day…there’s no more songs of substance…switch up! hip hop ain’t selling crack and killing your own people (jeezy)…yeah dudes stunted, but it was classy…niggas took it and became barbarians with it…when will it stop? one last thing, while the white folk call their rock “stars” “icons” and “legends,”…we call our rappers, “has beens, and washed up, and finished.” that’s so trife!
man im 15 but i listen to alot of old school hip hop. i gotta say man im getting sick of current music. fuck dipset! fuck jeezy! i like substance. my dad has all these 12″ music from back in the day and i always be spinning his shit coz i wanna get into producing one day. i hate music today. there’s no respect for dudes like nas who really set a platform for his peers and those to follow (after dudes like rakim obviously) but still. now you got these idiots like jim jones who put out shameful songs that make me ashamed to be a young black man, dog. real talk.
i feel you DV. keepin it real young brother
